Barrett FRS (1845–1926), Professor, Royal College of Science, Dublin; Experimental Physicist In the 1930s, at Duke University, Joseph Banks Rhine established the world's first laboratory dedicated to formal experimental testing of psychic claims.

Delphi was believed by the ancient Greeks to be the center of the world, and the Oracle of Delphi was renowned throughout the lands for the accuracy of her prophecies.Bennett, Edward T. (1903).

Such inspired oracles can be distinguished from those soothsayers whose prophecies were based on observing and interpreting signs and symbols. True oracular inspiration is therefore different from divination that uses technical methods for generating and interpreting readings, such as astrology, tarot, runes, or the I Ching. While similar in many ways to the I Ching Oracle, you may find that geomantic readings provide a more detailed and concrete analysis of your situation.
